A neighbor reported seeing black smoke coming from the home's windows, near Jefferson and 3rd streets.

Harlow says when rescue crews arrived, they were worried about a smoke explosion, and cautious to enter the home. Once they deemed the situation safe and entered, the fire had mostly smoldered itself out.

Firefighters found the body inside the home. No details will be released until the victim's family has been notified.

Harlow says the interior of the home is covered in so much black soot, it's difficult to tell where the fire started.

Douglas County Crime Lab and the State Fire Marshal are investigating.
